Did my first strong lift 5x5 today
10/26/14
Bench 65
Dead lift 105
Barbell row 60
Squat 85
Overhead press 45
Struggled a bit with form and will try to get video on here soon for feedback
We only have one 'rack' at my gym. Felt like the guys were patient but still, what is the etiquette? I waited my turn, jumped in, knocked it out but probably could have done more weight on squats if not so rushed. The weights for each person were so diff that squeezing others in doesn't really seem to work? I only did the squats and overhead press off it. Rest I did on floor and bench.
Thx for any and all feedback.

Ps I assumed the bar weighed 45 lb when I stated my weights. All bars at my gym seemed same size but I need to double check that somehow I guess?0

Probably were 45lb. Do you realise the programme only involves doing three different exercises in a workout, not all five?
Very impressed with your starting weights!0 -
Nope didn't know that! Thx logg1e

Welcome! This is such a great team -- definitely come by the daily check in thread and post your workouts, questions, etc.
I basically started with the empty bar, so I'm always impressed when people jump right in with much heavier weights! I take it you've lifted before?
